mortality/aging
• significant nreduction in homozygotes identified
• presumed embryonic lethality
• particularly of females
|
reproductive system
• normal synapses in about 48% of spermatocytes and variable extent to which synapses fail to form in the remaining spermatocytes
|
• spermatogenesis blocked in meiosis
• abundant zygotene and early pachytene spermatocytes but few post meiotic germ cells
• variable from mouse to mouse and from tubule to tubule
|
small testis

• sharply reduced testis size
